TAMPA, FL / ACCESS Newswire / January 21, 2026 / As previously communicated on December 16th, 2025, due to the recent sharp increase in sulfur prices, Mosaic idled single super phosphate (SSP) production at its Fospar and Araxa facilities in Brazil for an initial 30-day period. Following review, the company has elected to extend these production curtailments by an additional 30 days. Mosaic will continue to assess market conditions in the coming weeks and will evaluate its production plans at that time. Due to the extended curtailment, Mosaic does not intend to purchase sulfur in Brazil in the near term.
